Analysis And Scaling Of High-Speed And Turbulent Combustion For Gaseous And Liquid Fuels
Abstract
Study and obtain critical scales and relative importance among multi-physics phenomena in turbulent combustion that is the central energy conversion process. In particular, analyses will bemade of 1) partially premixed spray flames in compressible mixing layers, including effects ofradiant energy transport, 2) autoignition in fuel-air high-speed mixing processes, and 3) influencesof oblique shock waves on the ignition and combustion of gaseous and spray hydrocarbon mixtures. The research is intended to advance our understanding of interactions of the flow fieldsencountered in turbulent combustion with the chemical-kinetic heat-release processes, in such away that ultimately useful improvements can be made in high-speed propulsion systems.
